Faking It(19)
Now, it was my turn to burst out laughing. And not my professional, clipped and clean steward giggle, but my real, throaty, uncontrolled laugh. He laughed with me and a moment later, we were smiling stupidly, gazing into each other’s eyes.
“Listen, I know you’re off limits,” he touched my hand and I felt him trembling slightly. “But maybe, after the charter, I could see you?” He kept his eyes on mine as he waited for the answer.
I felt my heart tightening this time, instead of my stomach. I can’t believe this, my mind raced, I came here to hurt him, but now I feel like I really like him. I never dreamed he could be so vulnerable and so obviously alone. He’s trying so much to mend the damage his father did, even the damage he did to me. Could we really work together? He wasn’t the billionaire tyrant his father was and now I could acknowledge all the feelings of attraction I’d been trying to suppress. “I’d... I think I’d like that,” was all I managed to say.
I was suddenly aware, as we leaned on our elbows, the teak bar separating us and his hand on mine, that our faces were so close. I stared into his stunning, gray-green eyes for what seemed like an age, then took a chance. This time I know it’s real, I told myself. I leaned in toward his mouth, and he did the same. We came so close I could feel his soft breath caressing my sensitive lips, when his phone, screeching angrily from the counter top, made me jump.
“Goddammit,” he hissed as the moment passed us by. I giggled nervously. Tyler read the text message to himself. “It’s Ada, of course,” he told me. I let out the breath I’d been holding as I stood back up looking for a glass or a cloth, anything to look busy. For one instant, I’d forgotten all about his hot, rich girlfriend below deck.
“You’d better go,” I said, trying not to sound downcast. It was a stupid idea. I wanted to desBrett him, not sleep with him. Except… now I knew what he was really like. “After all, I am off limits.”
“Misty, come on...” he began.
“No, it’s fine, you’re with her. Maybe you can still call me after the charter and we’ll meet up, like you said,” I smiled, desperate to hide the tears that were forming in my eyes. Get a grip, girl!
“I should go, let her down easy,” he said. I nodded.
He means well but I can’t see that happening. She’s so beautiful, he’ll never resist her. Not while I can’t touch him and she can offer him everything. Forget it, Misty, I thought as he headed downstairs to the master suite, you’ve missed your chance.

As I hurried back to my cabin, I rehearsed what I was going to say to Ada. She would be furious, no doubt about that, and I was worried what she might do to Misty. Ada had the resources to make Misty’s professional life very difficult, yet I couldn’t help wanting us to be together. Since the first time I saw her, I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her. I only hoped I had the balls to protect her.
I was going to have to move out of the main cabin and into one of the smaller, twin berth rooms. Considering how much I’d paid for this trip, that didn’t seem fair at all. But it was the gentlemanly thing to do. I stopped outside my door, took a breath, and walked in.
Ada sat on the bed, one knee up to her chin, her other foot dangling near the floor. She wore only gray briefs and a tiny, tight white cotton undershirt. She looked up from her phone as I closed the door behind me.
“There you are,” she smiled coyly at me. “You were so long I almost started without you.”
“Ada, darling,” I swallowed. I’d spent my life negotiating for billions of dollars with some of the most cutthroat people on the planet, yet this conversation was making my mouth run dry. “We need to talk.”
“Yes, we do,” replied Ada, surprising me. “Sit down honey. We have a problem...” Bewildered, I took a seat on one of the plush armchairs that lined the long round wall of the room. “Baby?” called Ada to the bathroom. Bella, naked except for a pair of white cotton panties, stepped from the doorway. “Poor Bella here,” began Ada, “hasn’t been having the best trip. Henry has been a frightful bore and is now passed out, having paid her no attention for the last two days and nights. She’s lonely and wants to know if she can play with us?” Bella made shy eyes at me, nodding, girlishly holding a finger in her mouth. “That’s all right, darling, isn’t it?” teased Ada, as the young Latina girl crossed slowly over to the bed.
I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing would come out. Ada knelt up on the edge of the huge bed as Bella reached her, and let out a low moan as they kissed open-mouthed. Bella eased Ada’s shirt up over her shapely, firm breasts and sighed breathlessly as the two girls’ uncovered nipples hardened, rubbing gently against each other.
Oh, come on! I could only think as I felt my erection growing. I really want to be with Misty right now, but there’s only so much temptation a man can take.
Ada spun Bella away from her before cupping those full, caramel colored breasts from behind and gently biting her light-brown shoulder. Both girls turned their heads and smiled at me, before Ada lightly stroked her hands down toward Bella’s underwear. The younger girl closed her eyes, letting her head fall back in pleasure as Ada’s fingers pushed their way under the flimsy material, slowly caressing her most sensitive parts. Bella hooked her thumbs under her panties and gently slid them down, stepping out of them and turning back around to face Ada, who again slid her hand over that beautiful bald mound.
